Highlandwhite Matchday Thread
===================================================
Welcome to the penultimate match day thread of the season as we head to London on Sunday for yet another vital game, kick off 1.30pm and live on Sky.
Team News
Leeds
Liam Cooper is expected be back for this vital game. Added to the missing will be Roca injured and Firpo suspended. A big loss or a blessing in disguise ?
West Ham
A successful battling performance on the pitch and in the stands hopefully will result in the bulk of their players being rested for their conference league final now that they are safe from relegation.
God knows how, but we must win this game.
Can't imagine how some of this current squad would cope away at Millwall or Cardiff or Stoke on a freezing Tuesday night in August.
My heart says 2.1 Rodrigo double. My head doesn't agree.
Over to you all for predictions and line ups and finally in the customary manner.
Come Onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn Leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeds!!!

Sad day. But we all knew it was coming. Hope was all we had left. But deep inside we all had seen that this team is not good enough.
The only thing I am left wondering now, is will I ever see Leeds back in the top-fight in my lifetime.
Tanks for the thread. Had to go out and get some sun.

Personally feels different to the last relegation. Remember the last game at ER when we were all but down and we saw the fire sale coming and the financial issues
This squad won't won't too many suitors. Cash in on Gnonto, Meslier. Some of the high earners Rodrigo, Rutter, Firpo, Roca, Aaronson would be good to get rid of
I presume if we can keep the likes of Robles, Wober, Adams, Somerville, Forshaw, Bamford, Ayling, Dallas, Koch, Cooper, Struijk, Harrison then we go again with something that should resemble a good squad at that level. Obviously needs some quality added to it

Work erhic aside, Bamford has to go. He has single handedly cost us 6 points in the match against Leicester and Newcastle. We would be safe if he did what he is paid to do.

I'm just so sick like all of us of feeling sad every weekend after Leeds lose or eff it up in some way and today was no different.
I held out I suppose for some kind of miracle but deep down I think I knew after the six one demolition at home to Liverpool we were a busted flush... there's no coming back from that.. the team was finished and completely broken then and we've been sinking like the Titanic most of this season and today it's finally done.
Victor Orta will be remembered in the same manner as Peter Ridsdale, Ken Bates, GFH and Cellino... all of them have damaged our great club massively and broken all our hearts.
We return to where Radz first found us except his bank account has been enormously improved upon on the back of Leeds United's brief stay in the Premier league while the club's finances are a lot more respectful I think the sooner he goes the better and we can all hope we finally get a new ownership that can rebuild from this shattering failure ASAP.

I’m from Wakefield, well Altofts now, and I agree wholeheartedly Bamford has to go. I don’t want to see him in a Leeds shirt again.
